pointment,
,Wjj don’t think any con Hy in the
state can boast of a better set of of¬
ficer* than Murray county. Every¬
one of them are eliicient wide awake
business men, and are filling their
respective offices to the satisfaction
of almost every one so far as we
have been able to learn.
Judge Samps Harris last week
declined the position of Supreme.
Court Justice and Governor Atkin
son appointed lion. Hal Lewis to
take the position which will be va
eated after December 1st, by Judge
Spenoer R Atkinson.
A proposition will be presented to
the Kansas legislature this winter to
allow the state to go into the in¬
surance business. The plan is to
have tine state to insure property at,
three- fourths its assessed value, the
premiums to be collected the same
aj tayi%—Atlanta Constitution.
Dun’s Review states that the pre¬
sent business in the boot and shoe
line surpasses all records in ship¬
ments from the East for Novcrn
hers, being 27 per cent, larger than
in the prosperous peri d of 1892,
and that the total for the year will
probably be the greatest ever known
The workers are running full capac¬
ity, and the host of urgent demands
yogld seem to indicate an Inability
to satisfy the demand.
Miss Edna Cain, one of Georgia's
brightest newsepaper women, is a
candidate for the position of Assis¬
tant State Librarian, and an over
whelrniug number of’influont.ial men
*/ e giving Jiej - their aid. The Citi
uen would be highly gratfied to see
Miss Cain win the honor which she
so f well deserves. She is brilliant
am capable, and on account of her
universal popularity would give bet¬
ter satiefaction than any candidate
yet named. The office of Assistant
Librarian is rightly a woman’s place,
and the appointment of Miss Cain
will be hailed vpjih djjjiglp by the
people at large, and especially by
Hie newspaper men among whom
she is a universal favorite.—Dalton
Citizen. .
A SOUTHERN ARMOR PLANT.
If the advice of such candid in
dnutria! magazines as the New York
Stove and Hardware Reporter is
taken, congress may yet be prevail¬
ed upon to establish a governmet
armor plant In the south. Says this
entei prisieg periodical:
1 The location of a government
aimor-plate plant in the south would
only be a righteous
the BOtbern states claim to some of
ihe many favors that have hereto
lore been so lavishly tbrowa around
O Jha north- The profound excel
ilence of Alabama iron has been pro
in over and over again, and the
government armor-plate boarn could
hardlv do better than locate the
wrojected plant in the south.
s There can be no doudt of the fact
that our sot hern iron gre is capable
of producing the tiuest quality of
steel made, and our national law
piakprs could to no wiser step than
to establis a government
plant in this section.
NOT FOK REVENUE.
Since Mr. Gary ha» si,bmitsed his
repon on i he .gener^t postoiH.ee, u>e

'Hits is chiellv nonsense. Two

the thievish franking priviledge,that
makes the people pay for carrying

Francs, England and Romany are
not reading countries like oars.
The masses read nothing but books-—
too many of them cannot read at
all—and very few linoks they do
read. They take no newspaper,
while every farmer in our country
takes one or more. Cheap patron¬
age has done much for the spread of
substantial enlightenment among
our people; but we ought to cheap¬
en the dime novel. Belter exclude
it; and it is outrageous to allow pol¬
itician to send tons upon tons of mail
free, that concerns nobody but the
sender.
Stop these abuses and the busi
ness will soon be in a condition .as
to warreut cent postage on letters.
By all means,we should teach the
people that their postal departments
ought not to be made t means of tax
